A game similar to 'Super Pang'. You are attacked by little green balls which are bouncing around and which you have to kill with your knife. Your knife however is limited to being thrown upwards, thus you have to get under the balls to kill them. Even worse, if you 'kill' a large ball, it doesn't just vanish, but breaks apart into two smaller balls. Levels consist of little platforms connected by ladders, so you can go up and down or find cover if needed.

Doomdark's Revenge was the sequel to
Lords of Midnight was an epic
adventure game written by Mike
Singleton for the ZX Spectrum
microcomputer (amongst others) in the
early 1980's. With even more locations
(6144) and views (49, 152) than its
predecessor, and a massive 128
characters from 8 races to recruit
from and battle, Doomdark's Revenge
is still extremely playable, highly
addictive and exhibits surprisingly
passable graphics.

The package includes dexe's of both the
original ports and a patched versions
with support for numeric-pad based
movement, a movement-related bugfix,
and two alternative scenarios by Jan
Kapala. Assembler source is also
available through Chris Wild's site
